Sheet-processing system

Abstract

A sheet-processing system can perform a plurality of jobs in parallel. While process 1 and process 2 are being processed simultaneously, a job display screen is segmented into two such that segmented job display screens for process 1 and process 2 are simultaneously displayed in a touch panel display frame of an operation display. Accordingly, the operation display in the sheet-processing system exhibits good visibility.

1. A sheet-processing system comprising:
 a first sheet post-processing device and a second sheet post-processing device being operable independently from the first sheet post-processing device, both of which have a sheet post-processing function; 
 a display; and 
 controllers configured to execute at least one of a first mode and a second mode, the first mode in which the first sheet processing devices is used and the second sheet processing device is not used to process a sheet, the second mode in which the second sheet processing device is used and the first sheet processing device is not used to process a sheet, 
 wherein the controllers cause the display to display information about the first mode and information about the second mode corresponding to positional relation between the first sheet processing device and the second sheet processing device when the controllers execute the first mode and the second mode in parallel. 
 
   
   
     2. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller causes the display to display the information about the first mode and not to display the information about the second mode when the controllers execute the first mode and do not execute the second mode in parallel. 
   
   
     3. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 2 , wherein the controllers change a size of a display area in the display area in the display to display the information about the first mode between when the first mode and the second mode are executed in parallel and when the first mode is executed and the second mode is not executed in parallel. 
   
   
     4. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the display is configured such that an instruction from the user regarding the first mode and the second mode can be input, and 
 wherein the instruction regarding the first mode and the second mode to be executed in parallel can be input from the display when the first mode and the second mode are executed in parallel. 
 
   
   
     5. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 4 , wherein the display is segmented such that an instruction from a user regarding the first mode and the second mode can be input, and wherein the controllers cause the display to display the information about the first mode and to display a reception key to execute the second mode in parallel when the first mode is executed and the second mode is not executed in parallel. 
   
   
     6. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the controllers cause the display to display the information about the first mode being executed and the information about the second mode to be executed, corresponding to positional relation between the first sheet-processing device and the second sheet-processing device, when the reception key to execute the second mode in parallel is selected. 
   
   
     7. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein, when the controller executes the first mode and the second mode in parallel, and if an error occurs in either one of the first mode and the second mode, the controllers change a size of a display area to display information about the mode in which the error occurs. 
   
   
     8. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the display is configured such that an instruction from a user regarding the jobs can be input, and wherein an instruction regarding the second job to be executed in parallel can be input from the display during the execution of the first job. 
   
   
     9. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 8 , wherein when the display is segmented into job display screens and the job display screens regarding the first processing job and the second processing job are simultaneously displayed, an instruction from the user regarding the first processing job and the second processing job can be input on the display. 
   
   
     10. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the display is configured such that an instruction from the user regarding the jobs can be input, and wherein a parallel processing job reception key appears on the display availably while the first job is being executed whereas the second processing job is executable although the second sheet processing device is not in use. 
   
   
     11. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 10 , wherein the display is segmented so that the job display screen of the first job in process and the job display screen of the second job to be executed are displayed when the parallel processing job reception key is designated. 
   
   
     12. The sheet-processing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the job display screen regarding the first job is displayed as the display larger than that of the second job when a trouble occurs in the first job while the first job and the second job are executed in parallel.
